Will We Lose Our Right To Bear Arms?

The Constitution of the United States of America grants its Citizens the Right to Own and Bear Arms. Since 1776, Americans have had the Right to keep weapons. It was these weapons that were used to win our freedom from England. Personal weapons were used to tame the West and what Texans used to fight for their independence from Mexico.

Now, granted times have changed, and we are subjected to unwanted violence. But, losing our Right to Bear Arms is not the answer. Americans are slowly losing each and every personal liberty. There may come a time when we have lost all of our Rights and all of our Liberty.

Our elected officials like to use scare tactics on us as a means to control us and to pass their agendas. Oh, they say it's for our own good, but it's just another way to control us and change our way of life. Here's an example, Smoking. We all know that it's bad for us, but if you buy a pack of cigarettes, it is a personal choice. But, most states have taken away that choice for American Citizens. It is really any of their business if you smoke or not? They are really good at throwing statistics at you, but if you have ever studied Statistics, then you know that numbers can be manipulated. Statistics can be bent to provide the whatever answer a person or group is looking for. Bars and restaurants should have the right to provide service to smokers and non smokers alike. No one and no government body should have had the right to take that choice from Americans.

In the days and weeks to come we will be subjected to a mountain of comments and opinions on gun control. We Will hear celebrities, the media and political figures speak on how "guns kill". No, the person holding the gun kills! We will hear how guns are no longer needed to protect our self and our family against foreign or domestic threats. That's a crock! Now more than ever, we need to fight for our Right to Keep and Bear Arms. When, any government starts talking about repealing our Rights and Liberties we need to stand up and listen.

I can trace my family roots back to before the Revolutionary War. My ancestors fought for their freedom and so should all of us. We need to stand up for our freedoms and we must defend our Country and Our Constitution. We live in an imperfect world, and an imperfect country. But American has been and should always be a beacon for freedom. As individuals and as country men we must come together and say NO! WE WILL NOT LOSE ANYMORE OF OUR FREEDOMS! WE WILL NOT LIVE IN FEAR ANY LONGER! WE ARE AMERICANS! WE LOVE OUR COUNTRY! WE LOVE OUR FREEDOM!

The Lose of Our Freedoms

America is under going a radical act from within. American citizens are slowly losing our freedoms. Sometimes we are told that it's for our own good. Smoking causes cancer, so "we" are to going tell you where you can smoke. It doesn't matter, that it has been proven that we all carry the gene which causes cancer, we are born with it. No, the powers that be will take away your right to choose what you will or will not do. All in the name of "being for your own good."

When seat belts came out, we had the choice of wearing or not wearing them. Now, it is illegal to be caught driving without a seat belt on. The revenue that is generated by law enforcement issuing tickets make up a large part of a county or city budget. It is amazing to think that at one time automobile makers were considering removing them from vehicles.

Prayer and The Pledge of Allegiance were once part of each and every school day. It's what we did before starting our day. Now, it is only found in schools associated with religious organizations. It's considered politically incorrect to talk about or refer to God, in any form at public school. Instead of using a prayer in school as a teaching tool to promote understanding, we have let it divide us as a country.

There are individuals and groups who want to take away our right to bear arms. The Right to bear arms was granted to all Americans by the Bill of Rights. No one or no group has the right to take the bearing of arms away from American Citizens. Men and women have fought and died in order to keep our country free from those who would take our freedoms from us.

Americans need to wake up before it's too late and all of our freedoms are gone. Glenn Beck recently talked about the Lose of Our Republic on his TV Show on the Fox News Channel. Many Americans may be uncomfortable with what he has to say, but maybe it's time that we got out of our comfort zone and opened our eyes and our ears, before it's too late.
